5 /5 Jacklyn Bell: The Cider Mill is truly a hidden gem in Syracuse! From the moment you walk in, youre greeted with warm, friendly service that makes you feel like a regular—even if its your first visit. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable and well taken care of, which really sets the tone for a great dining experience. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented.

5 /5 D. Ross: My wife and I enjoyed a terrific birthday dinner at The Cider Mill last night. Such a warm and cozy place on a cold and rainy night! Of course we had to start withe the Brussel sprouts which are always a favorite! After perfect-sized side salads, my wife had the Butternut Sage Alfredo (vegetarian option) and I had the Carved Beef Tenderloin which was a special. All I can say is they were both fantastic and we even had enough for leftovers, which are now calling my name from the fridge! Unfortunately, I did not catch our waitresses name, but she was awesome. Our meal was perfectly paced and the service was spot-on. We ended the evening with a birthday treat, which was “on the house” and a piece of butter cake to go! A perfect evening all around!

5 /5 John Amato: Wonderful seasonal food and drink menu and nightly specials. We had the tuna and stuffed haddock and both were delicious. Staff were friendly and service was great. We can definitely recommend the Cider Mill. If you go on a weekend, make reservations. Additional parking across the street.

5 /5 Chelcie Piasio: Amazing experience! Definitely recommend stopping by here! My server, Amy, was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel welcomed, gave great suggestions, and just all around awesome vibes. The place feels intimate without being too dark. Everyone was very friendly and warm. We tried the bloody mary deviled eggs, which were really good. Personally, I wouldve liked more kick to them. Our server brought us some fioccia bread with a "tomato oil" that was kind of like a cold, thinner, arrabiata sauce. It was delicious! For entrees, we had the rum brown butter salmon with goat cheese risotto and sprouts and the riggies with sausage. The risotto and sprouts were heavenly! The salmon was very good as well. The riggies were fantastic! The sausage had the perfect amount of kick to it. The cocktails we tried were really interesting and unique, but the apple caramel mule was the overall best one. Hard to beat a classic.
